you might like gears on a couple of the trails. steep passes suck with a dog engine and redcone and mosquito will do a better job keeping your seatcushions out of your butt with gears to slow you down...redcone for the potential roll off the trail factor and mosquito for it's bounce factor.

Dog engine? I just passed half of the traffic on I-70 eastbound Floyd Hill and reached the top at 55mph. On 35" Swampers and a hot day, no less. The 3FE is NOT a dog engine. But then, you already knew that, didn't you Ige?
Before that, it was big fun today wheeling Bill Moore Lake and then down Red Elephant Hill with Alex Bingham, son of former Rising Sunner James Bingham and his friend Will who now wrenches at Slee Off Road.

I'd have to say I'm mixed about calling the 3fe a dog engine. Dog is too powerful of a word to call it. I'll be running out of Grand Junction for the trip and hope that I don't slow too many people down. I've got my 3fe pushing 39.5's using 5.29 gears and she does okay.

Nah if I go I'll be tail gunner. I'm good with that. Winter time will be re gear time. Have an ARB in the front. Will need to gf et a rear locker when I do the re gear so I can do all at once. 5.29s for sure. Will I slow everyone down too much?
